Bill Read was on KTRH 740 this morning and was comparing this to Claudette in 2003. He said the same issues were there in regards to when it was going to turn. Hmmmm. From Air Force Met at Storm 2K, one of the pro mets whom we respect a ton. I agree with Srain, always keep a watchful eye for anythin...

[ I certainly understand about not letting our guard down because anything can happen, but to say don't pay attention to the models is silly. It seems every single post you make here has the tone of the sky is falling. I believe 99.9% of the people on this forum understand the seriousness of the si...

Dr. Neil Frank is supposed to be on the 11 news at 5 and 6. You can count on him telling you what to expect. No hype... No BS... and no ego. Listen for the words, "we'll watch it". We just don't yet know where, but the where not is kinda obvious. Alex most likely will not be speaking Spani...

Remember, he is talking to Dr Frank...soooo

Agreed Scott. As I commented on, it was clear and to the point.

I am not Ed, but I would say ( And I bet Dr Frank will say this too), keep watching this system. Dont sound the all clear until it is inland and dead. LOL

I mean, "get to hurricane strength."

Ok, cool Rip. Great CD from Rush there Rip. The documentary on them ( Behind the Lighted Stage) was on VH1 Classic Saturday. Quite good. Now, back to weather!!!

I'm wondering if it will get back to hurricane strength.
What's the shear looking like down there?

Was it ever at hurricane strength? I can not recall that, but I might be wrong.

Did Al Roker say that, or that former McDonald's clown who reads borthdays for centenarians on the back of Smucker's jars?


Wow Ed....LOL

I just remember IKE and how the NHC had it towards South Texas on Monday - when I began making preps and getting supplies and on Wednesday they changed to Galveston. Two days for most folks to try and get ready. I don't doubt the NHC they are the authority but they aren't perfect. I will continue t...

This thing looks like it's almost on shore, on the coast of Mexico. I don't see how there's any way it can come north. Never say never but, never.... I'd not worry if I were a Houstonian. Maybe the next one. We'll probably eat some rain from it, probably it. I'm not even an amatuer so don't flame m...

I wonder if they will put out an intermediate advisory upgrading Alex back to Tropical Storm status?

Agreed Porta. I was thinking strong tropical storm/minimal hurricane status with pressures like that. Hummm

15/8/5

Sleet/Snow mix in Humble. Switched over as I got home.

I will soon traverse the roadways from SE Houston to Humble. I will file a report when I get home.

Nice comeback...LOL....

I'm waiting (im)patiently. As long as I see flakes before bedtime, I'll be a happy camper. You'll see flakes there at 6:28PM, an hour or two before the precip ends. Dang. You are good.
